Applications are officially open for “The Mentorship Program”

Today, we are proud to announce that applications are officially open for “The Mentorship Program”. The  iHub and  the “Skunkworks” Foundation have partnered to run the program over a one year period. “Skunkworks” foundation has a bias on community outreach, while the iHub is an open space for the tech community. This has made it easy for both parties to work together to launch and roll out the mentorship program.

This mentorship program will not only provide business and technology insight to the community, but also give life coaching, that will help the participants to adapt and cope in a fast changing business and technology environment. We seek to create and nurture the next generation of entrepreneurs in Kenya and East Africa to encourage Innovation and Entrepreneurship within the community to enhance social change and development within the tech ecosystem across Kenya and East Africa.

Applications will be live on the mentorship website from the 23rd of March 2011, and the program is open to the technology community within East Africa.  The deadline for first round applicants is 6th April 2011, 11.59 pm (GMT+3), but the website will continue to accept applications from interested candidates.

Get Access into Registration-Required Sites without Need to Register

Are you annoying of having to register on a free Web site just to read some news or view some information? Rather than registering on such Web sites (and risking your email of annoying spam).
I have a simple method to get access to protected content without need to endure the annoyance of signing up for an account. Every time relatives and friends send me links to registration-required Web sites, I’ll visit BugMeNot to bypass most of these annoyance. BugMeNot is a free Web site that stored registered user account logins and passwords so you don’t have to provide your personal info.
Once you at BugMeNot front page, just type in the URL of the website that you’d like access. BugMeNot then will return a list of user names and passwords along with their accuracy percentage.
For Firefox users, BugMeNot provide the extension that automates these process. Once you’ve installed the extension, you can easily access the website you like by right click on the username or email address text box.
